There is good Shemping in all three films in this entry in the Columbia series of Three Stooges shorts. "Dopey Dicks" (1949, short number 122) reruns some old Curly material (no surprise!) in which a mad scientist wants a brain for his evil experiments. Most of the footage is concerned with the boys being chased by the doctor and his evil assistant as they try to rescue Christine McIntyre and escape the blades aimed at their necks. Shemp's reactions are priceless and there is a lot of good fun here.
"Scrambled Brains" (1951, number 132) is said to have been among Shemp's favorites, and certainly what plot there is centers around his need to recover from a bout of hallucinations, all the while planning to marry an extremely ugly nurse he met while under treatment. The gem of this film is a new use of the old "third hand" routine that was a cliché even when Stan Laurel used it in A Chump at Oxford many years earlier. Emil Sitka gets to play a nearsighted doctor who, while inspecting Shemp, leans forward on his rocking chair to make a doll say "Mama" with the usual double takes from one and all.
Shemp himself uses what looks like Sitka's glasses as an utterly incompetent dentist in "The Tooth Will Out (1951, number 134). Having barely passed a one-week course in dentistry, the boys go West to set up practice, and one almost feels the pain as half-blind Shemp stabs wildly at his first patient with a whirring drill. Possibly the idea--not very original to begin with--was influenced by Shemp's nearsighted explorer in the Abbott and Costello Africa Screams only a year or two before this short. --Frank Behrens

This volume of Columbia shorts by the Three Stooges is the best collection involving Shemp that I have come across to date:
"Dopey Dicks" is a 1949 short where the boys are cleaning out the office of Sam Shovel Private Investigator, when in works a beautiful woman (Christine McIntyre), who is being followed. She is promptly taken and the Stooges are off to save the day. Behind it all is a scientist who is trying to make a mechanical man but is having problems finding a brain small enough ... Read More

DOPEY DICKS is an excellent Three Stooges short, one of their best. The plot was redone is SPOOKS, but better here. This short includes the same type of gags used in A BIRD IN THE HEAD, which I was not fond of, but this I like.
SCRAMBLED BRAINS is Larry's personal favorite Three Stooges short. I LOVE this. Shemp has some of his best scenes here. There's a hilarious scene where the Stooges have a fight with Vernon Dent in a crowded phone booth. One of the Stooges best.

DOPEY DICKS (1950) - The best detective Stooges shorts were made with Shemp, and the streak continues here. Edward Bernds was also a master at making great detective shorts. An excellent short. Shemp's Maine 2468 scene, and the chase in the old mansion are highlights.
SCRAMBLED BRAINS (1950) - This is some of the Stooges best work. A hilarious short with non-stop great gags. The best part is the hilarious fight between the Stooges and Vernon Dent in a cramped-up phone booth. All the Stooges ... Read More
